December 2019 – Writing from the Heart

One of the things that I haven’t done much of the last year is writing. I have taken part in book tours and worked with some fantastic authors but I want to put my own words to paper and hopefully publish my book. This year feels like it has flown by….and they will all combine and tumble ever forwards until there is no more time left. So with that in mind, I am going to make a conscious effort to be more assertive, to write more and plan more. I am going to use my ‘unemployed’ status to do all the things I wanted to do. I’m going to get myself ready for when i apply to university for the midwifery course I want to do, and I am going to write those books that have been in my mind for so so long. And more than anything, I am hoping to finally put the past few years behind me. I haven’t been the same person for such a long time and I want to have a more positive year. Let’s hope the year gives me everything I need and more!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2020 is good to you!

This past year has been the first one which has been quite relaxed and trauma free. For the past 3 years I have been dealt some shitty hands, but this year has been what can only be described as normal.

I have left my full time position to support my husband at home. I have spent a lot more time with my boys and feeling better about being available for all the school stuff that they did. This year also helped to heal me a bit. It’s not uncommon that I struggled with stress and slight depression after the previous years and since giving up work, I have been able to slowly get back to the person I used to be. I am looking forward to the year ahead. New challenges, new beginnings, and hopefully a new improved me. There’s a lot that I want to change about myself and I’m hoping to chip away at the bad to reveal who I really am.

There are some exciting things happening in 2020, and I can’t wait to see how the year shapes up 🙂

hopefully this will be our year……

I spent a good portion of my night thinking about the people in my life. I lost out on sleep and managed to get a mere 4 hours before I had to take boys to school.

Like many people, I have those that support me and those that don’t. I went through scenarios and battles that I should have either avoided or done more about. I have people who would go that extra mile for me, and who I would do the same…..and then I have others who can’t be bothered. People who put their own needs and feelings before others.

And I ask myself….why do I torture myself about it all?

Why do I constantly fret over who likes me and who doesn’t? Why do I put myself out there, just to feel rejection and hurt? I have been through some shitty stuff over the past few years, more than anyone should deal with in any one lifetime….and it has made me realise who I can count on 100% and who lets me down time and time again. I should turn away and not let them get to me, but it’s hard! I am going to start looking after me and mine. I will give the same amount of support to those who give it to me…..match support with support. And then see how long it takes before I hear any complaints….

I have a busy year ahead of me, and I want to focus on moving towards a brighter, future and career. I need to learn to shake the negative people off!

About the Book

Naughty Or Nice

She’s setting the terms…

In business and pleasure!

Lucas Waring was my brother’s best friend—before he broke my heart and betrayed my family. Yet one glance from those dark, intense eyes, and that bolt of aching need returns. Now Lucas wants my business. But the nice Eva he knew is gone forever and naughty Eva wants her cake, and a taste of deliciously hot Lucas, too. Only my heart’s about to pull the biggest betrayal of all…

My Review

I have said it before and I will say it again! Rachael Stewart never ever fails to brighten my days. Her stories ignite such passion and intrigue, and they really fire up my cold, dreary days.

This story is a fabulous, fun, sexy escape from the normality. We see two characters, divided by family feuds who cannot stay away from one another. Years have gone by since Eva last saw Lucas, the guy who won her heart when she was only 18; the guy who also broke that heart…..and yet her body reacts whenever she sees him.

Lucas sees the sister of his ex-best friend. The girl who he wanted, but couldn’t have. And now there is nothing standing in his way, and he wants what he deprived himself of all those years ago…..

But now, it is Eva who calls the shots…

This book had me wanting from the very first chapter. I read the pages greedily and hid myself away when the scenes got hot…. I couldn’t steer myself away from the drama as it unfolded and as much as I loved the ‘strong willed’ Eva, I knew that wanted nothing more than to feel Lucas’s love for her….and I wanted it for her too!

The scenes were written brilliantly….Rachael sure does know how to get people HOT under the collar! From the story building, the character interaction and juicy sex scenes….I was not left disappointed!

Conclusion

Sexy…. Hot… Dramatic… with two characters that I believed in. This was top notch Stewart work at its best! I look forward to reading more…

Rating – Can I ever rate any lower than this?

5 out of 5!

Fantastic book! Give it a ago…..but beware… It may raise your blood pressure…
